"Not only that, for Frost, identitarian divisions based on gender, race and sexuality are 'a distraction at best, an active detriment at worst'. 'The biggest divide in American society is class and that's it. I'm a class-first person', she tells me. 'You're hearing in the election how much we need to elect a woman or we need to elect a woman of colour. But the most left-wing candidate is an old, white, heterosexual man [Bernie Sanders] and I want him to win… I'm a Bernie bro. I was a Bernie bro in 2016 and I am now.'"
